Chapter 26 Five Lives on My Back



"Shuangbao said that what they did was wrong. This Zheng Mama also said that she was the one who contributed greatly to Daddy's upbringing. Shuangbao was just a bastard and could not be compared with her."

When Xiao Shuangbao talked about this, his baby voice was very confused.

She looked at Emperor Cheng Xuan with suspicion, "Daddy, did you really grow up drinking her milk?

"But Daddy is so smart, brave, honest and kind. He's definitely not a villain like Madam Zheng who's responsible for five deaths!"

These words made Emperor Cheng Xuan's face turn black!

He immediately gave a sharp look at Nanny Zheng who was kneeling on the ground!

At this moment, Emperor Cheng Xuan suddenly felt that all his wisdom in this life was ruined by this Nanny Zheng!

When Nanny Zheng felt the cold gaze of Emperor Chengxuan, she felt a chill on her back.

But what frightened her even more was how Xiao Shuangbao knew that she was responsible for five deaths?

Emperor Chengxuan obviously also noticed this problem.

"Really? Madam Zheng, great hero? You mean to say that if I didn't drink your milk, I wouldn't be able to grow up and ascend the throne, right?"

His cold words were like a sword that could fall at any time, hanging over Nanny Zheng's head.

Nanny Zheng knew it very well.

She is indeed the emperor's wet nurse, but she is not someone who cannot be replaced!

Emperor Chengxuan is the emperor, even if she is not there, there will still be Nanny Zhang, Nanny Li, and Nanny Zhao!

There will always be someone who will make his breasts bigger!

She shouldn't have taken advantage of the fact that she was the emperor's wet nurse and gone to him to complain without knowing her place!

At this moment, Nanny Zheng realized that she had made a wrong decision.

But now that things have come to this, she must insist that everything is Xiao Shuangbao's fault!

"Your Majesty, this is unjust! I never said that! This is all slander!"

Madam Zheng thought rapidly in her heart, then suddenly raised her head, crying bitterly, putting all the blame on Xiao Shuangbao, and cried pitifully, "Little Princess, I have no grudge against you, why do you say such things to wrongly accuse me!"

"Shuangbao didn't lie. Everything Shuangbao said was true."

Little Shuangbao was slandered in return and felt a little helpless. "Daddy, if you don't believe me, you can ask Sister Chencao! Everything Shuangbao said is true!"

Chen Cao immediately said, "Your Majesty, I can testify that the little princess did not lie. It was Madam Zheng who regarded herself as the great hero who nursed the emperor. She not only did not take the little princess seriously, but also did not take the Empress seriously."

"I know, I believe what Shuangbao said."

Emperor Chengxuan had never distrusted Xiao Shuangbao.

He patted little Shuangbao's back soothingly, then asked another question that would be extremely fatal to Madam Zheng, "Shuangbao, how do you know that Madam Zheng has five lives on her shoulders?"

"Shuangbao saw it."

Little Shuangbao pointed at Madam Zheng and counted them one by one, "One, two, three, four, five, there are five ghosts behind Madam Zheng biting her!

"Strange, when I was in Weiyang Palace before, there weren't so many ghosts following Madam Zheng.

"Why are there suddenly five more ghosts here?"

Her little face was full of confusion.

At this time, the little fur ball interrupted and said, "Haha! That's because Madam Zheng's fate is too strong. Ghosts couldn't possess her before, but she was beaten up by Shuang Bao in Weiyang Palace. She had a flaw in her body, so ghosts could possess her. All the ghosts she killed have come here along the way!"

"I see!"

Xiao Shuangbao repeated Xiao Maotuan's words to Emperor Cheng Xuan.

Emperor Cheng Xuan had long accepted the fact that Xiao Shuangbao could see and catch ghosts.

He nodded.

Then he looked at Zhang Tianshi standing beside him and said, "Didn't you say you've been traveling the world for many years, slaying demons and exorcising ghosts many times? Then tell me, how many men and women are behind Madam Zheng, and what are their identities?"

“This, this…”

Zhang Tianshi hesitated and couldn't say anything.

He can't see ghosts at all!

"Speak! If you can't say it, it only proves that you are indeed lying and deceiving me!" Emperor Chengxuan's cold voice sounded above Zhang Tianshi's head.

“Yes, yes!”

Zhang Tianshi was so frightened that his whole body trembled again.

He stared at Madam Zheng for a long time before he said in a trembling voice, "I saw, I saw ghosts behind Madam Zheng. There are, there are three men and two women. They are the palace maids and eunuchs in the harem!"

"Wrong, wrong!"

Little Shuangbao immediately corrected him, "It's a eunuch, a palace maid, an old lady about the same age as Madam Zheng, a very beautiful young lady, and a little brother about the same age as Shuangbao."

When Nanny Zheng heard Xiao Shuangbao mention these five people, her face turned pale instantly!

Emperor Cheng Xuan listened to Xiao Shuangbao's description and vaguely remembered something.

At the beginning of this year, when he was returning from his personal expedition, there was a sudden fire in the palace of Concubine Chen, who had given birth to an heir to his throne. Concubine Chen, the twelfth prince, as well as the palace maids, eunuchs, and her wet nurse were all killed in the fire.

When he learned about this after returning to the palace, he was naturally very sad.

Concubine Luo said at the time that the Queen was entirely responsible for the tragedy.

The queen is in poor health and has no energy to manage the harem.

Therefore, he took back the Queen's Phoenix Seal, let Concubine Wang take charge of the six palaces, and asked Concubine Wang to investigate the matter.

Afterwards, Concubine Wang reported that the cause was that Concubine Chen could not bear the loneliness and had an affair with the guard.

While enjoying themselves at night, the two accidentally knocked over a candle, causing Concubine Chen, the twelfth prince and others to die in the fire.

At that time, he was seriously injured and exhausted. When he heard that Concubine Chen was having an affair, he naturally felt humiliated and quite angry, so he stopped caring about the matter.

But if the five ghosts that Xiao Shuangbao saw today were Concubine Chen and the twelfth prince and their five servants, doesn't that mean that the death of Concubine Chen and the twelfth prince was not an accident at all, but a murder?

It is even very likely that Concubine Chen did not have an affair.

When he thought of this, Emperor Cheng Xuan's expression became serious.

"Shuangbao, Daddy has heard that how a person dies determines the state of the ghost they become. For example, if a person dies in a raging fire, their ghost will also be charred. Are these five people you saw like that?"

He inquired.

"No."

Little Shuangbao shook her head. She observed the five ghosts carefully. "The young and beautiful ghost lady has been bleeding from her eyes, mouth, nostrils and ears. The little brother who is about the same age as Shuangbao is the same. Shuangbao remembers her mother saying that this is called bleeding from all seven orifices. She must have died of poisoning.

“The palace maid, the eunuch, and the old lady all had their tongues sticking out so long that they looked like they had been strangled to death.

"There's not a single burn mark on them."

As Xiao Shuangbao described the situation, Nanny Zheng, who was kneeling on the ground, began shaking more and more suspiciously.
